Mazagran (drinkware)
Mazagran is a type of cup usually used for coffee, which is named after the town of Mazagran in Algeria. It is unusual in coffee cup styles in having a short stem, and typically no handle or saucer. It has been most popular in France. Iced coffee drinks in a variety of recipes, some alcoholic, are also called mazagran; they may or may not be served in Mazagran cups. The Battle of Mazagran took place there in 1840 between French soldiers and Algerians and a legend claims that during the night, the 123 besieged French soldiers drank coffee laced with alcoholic beverages. It is a glass or cup on a foot, optionally also with a handle or a short stem. Mazagrans can be made of terracotta, porcelain or glass. Mazagran was also the name of a failed carbonated coffee soda beverage developed as a collaboration between Starbucks and Pepsi in the mid-1990s.

Tumbler (glass)
A tumbler is a flat-floored beverage container usually made of plastic, glass or stainless steel. Theories vary as to the etymology of the word ''tumbler''. One such theory is that the glass originally had a pointed or convex base and could not be set down without spilling. Another is that they had weighted bottoms which caused them to right themselves if knocked over. Originally, the term tumbler referred to a type of drinking glass with a pointed or rounded base, which prevented it from being put down until it was empty, encouraging the drinker to finish their beverage in one go. Over time, the design evolved into the flat-bottomed glassware that is known today, which can comfortably sit on tables and counters without tipping over. The modern tumbler comes in various sizes and shapes, designed to accommodate a wide range of beverages from water and juice to sophisticated cocktails. Tumblers can also be adorned with decor, such as gemstones and rhinestones. Types of tumblers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tiki Mug
A tiki mug is a large ceramic cocktail drinking vessel that originated in tiki bars and tropical-themed restaurants. The term "tiki mug" is a blanket term for the sculptural drinkware even though they vary in size and most do not contain handles. They typically depict Polynesian, mock-Polynesian, tropical, nautical, or retro themes, and as the term is used generically do not always emulate a tiki. When used to serve drinks they are frequently garnished with fruit or decorative drink umbrellas and swizzle sticks. Outside of tiki enthusiasts, the mugs are not commonly seen in use beyond tiki bars and restaurants, but some collect them as examples of kitsch. History What many would consider to be the earliest US "tiki mugs" were ceramics in the shape of a skull or an ordinary ceramic vessel with a hula girl-related motif. Mugs meant to emulate a tiki carving, what some would consider to be a "true" tiki mug, did not come to the United States until the late 1950s. A little-known an ...
